People are dumb.

What “things in html, css, and js” does Firefox not support that prevents you from using it?

WebGPU has been the biggest one for me, but most sites don’t even use it.

OP out here just trying to get upvotes.

I mean if you want to be all sensible about it, sure.

It’s just a tool. The real scam is that the 1% pay such a low share of their actual income (including capital gains)

Tbh it kind of is as long as you’re fluent in assembly

Literally the comment I was going to write

Income tax

That’s nice, dear

No

No

No

TFW you realize not everybody accesses lemmy the same way

Don’t look at political communities

Programmers are not immune to fads or the network effect

That’s not true. IRC is a client-server system. Your messages go to a server and are “relayed” to clients.

It’s not a p2p messaging system

They’re a lot more than markov generators, but yeah. I don’t really think, in the long run, we’re going to see too many jobs displaced by AI.

Im not convinced that our statistics based training methods will lead to true iRobot style AGI.

And any company (except maybe visual novel shops) that fires people in favor of AI is going to regret it within 2 years.

I’ve noticed that the lemmy crowd seems more accepting of AI stuff than the Reddit crowd was

But that’s the situation currently anyway.

They are still the largest fediverse platform.

Like to your points

1. Sure, but now those people just won’t join the fediverse
2. How do you figure? What persona of user is there that would have joined an independent instance but join threads instead? The fediverse itself has no draw, besides being more independent.
3. And that’s different than now, how? Every fediverse platform is essentially implementing features that large social media giants have had for years.
4. This is true, but what’s the problem with that? Most fediverse users were accustomed to large amounts of content from other platforms and left (or at least also use the fediverse) the only downside would be giving meta more data, but they can just scrape that same data from the fediverse anyway. All they need to do is quietly set up a private instance and set a bot account on that instance to follow everything from every instance it could find.

Someone in another thread mentioned that they would likely display ads near content from independent instances, and that’s a good point imo. They’d be directly making a profit off of private instances, which would be fucked up.

I hear a lot of talk of EEE too, which is a legitimate worry also. there must be a way to accept the first 2 Es without the extinguish. I’m hoping the admin community is thinking about that more than “meta evil” when defederating threads.

Everything is art if you think about it enough and make it sound pretentious.

This image is a sly commentary on the current technology trends juxtaposed with memes of the past. Showing how technology can breathe new life into outdated trends or some shit.

If you’re in the know, sure, but if the fediverse interacts with threads we could expose literally billions of people to the larger fediverse.

Maybe while the fediverse is still getting it’s legs defederating is the move, but I mean literally billions of people being made aware of the fediverse would be amazing.
